Sound Off: Steve Kittrell leaves legacy at South Alabama, but who will replace him?

Congratulations to coach Kittrell, who has had an outstanding career at South Alabama. I think Stanky Field should be renamed Stanky-Kittrell Field. The man deserves it.

David is man for job

Thank you to coach Kittrell for all you've done for South Alabama baseball. The only South Alabama guy currently in coaching who is capable of replacing him is Tony David at Samford University. He is a South Alabama guy.

Get Luis, Lieber and Powell

There are two names I think would be just wonderful for South Alabama's baseball program. It probably will never happen, but that's for Luis Gonzalez to be your head coach and Jon Lieber to be your pitching coach. They both love South Alabama and wouldn't hold them up with highway robbery for money. Then you have a pitching coach right on Old Shell Road called Ronnie Powell who people would love to see come back. That program has never been the same pitching-wise since he's left.

Opinion changed of coach

After hearing of coach Steve Kittrell's retirement, I wanted to say that it's about time. But after reading his résumé, I couldn't find anything bad to say. The man has 18 NCAA regional appearances, 10 Sun Belt Conference championships and he's won the Sun Belt tournament eight times.

About time for change

Steve Kittrell needs to get out of there so maybe they can recruit some baseball players. He is the anchor on the sinking ship of the baseball program at South and has been for several years.

BayBears won late

What happened to the Mobile BayBears Wednesday night? Did they get rained out? Did they win? Did they lose? Did they play? Editor's note: The BayBears beat Mississippi 7-5 but a rain delay pushed the game beyond deadlines for Thursday's editions.

Wrong guy at LeFlore

Concerning the hiring of Mr. Royals as LeFlore's basketball coach: This was a no-brainer. I think the principal didn't know what he was doing. He should've hired Mr. Bettis, who was fired from Blount. He had a proven winning record and led teams to championships previously.
